Marco Reus Injury: Updates on Germany Star's Ankle and Return

Marco Reus has been called up by Germany for their forthcoming international matches with Argentina and Scotland, the latter of which is a Euro 2016 qualifier.

Reus recently started for Dortmund against Bayer Leverkusen as he made his return from the ankle injury that wrecked his World Cup dream. Now he will return to the Germany fold, as announced by the nation's official Twitter feed:

Nearing a World Cup that's already deprived of some of the game's top stars, another top performer could be missing out, as Germany's brilliant attacker Marco Reus had to leave the team's friendly against Armenia with a leg injury.

44 Worry for Germany as Reus cannot put weight on his left leg as he is helped off the field

While Germany has incredible depth at the attacking positions, Reus seemed to be one of the unquestioned starters for the team after another brilliant season for Borussia Dortmund, in which he scored 16 goals and added 13 assists in 30 league appearances, per WhoScored.com.

His pace, versatility and ability to score from distance will be hard to replicate for Germany if he can't play in the World Cup.

And Germany have had their injury concerns, namely with starting keeper Manuel Neuer, midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and defender Philipp Lahm, though all three are expected to be available to play in Brazil.

Hopefully, Reus will also make the trip. His loss would be huge for a German side with realistic championship aspirations.
